<p>On the morning, I realize that today I have three urgent tasks—Michigan Test, Jewelry exam, and the video. After a transient panic, I make the decision like that: do the practice for Michigan Test first, then take the Jewelry exam in the break of the first class afternoon, next take the Michigan Test, and finally make the video with my teammates. </p>
<p>And look at what happened today. It’s damn rare that I can work as my plan, but I make it today! It makes me happy.</p>
<p>But the time after 11:00 p.m. is not in my plan, so I waste it totally…..</p>
<h3 id="Michigan-Test"><a href="#Michigan-Test" class="headerlink" title="Michigan Test"></a>Michigan Test</h3><p>The test organized by Michigan University consists of five kinds of exams. After comparing the exam format in the <a href="https://www.michigan-test.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">officail web</a> with that in the announcement, I make sure that the exam we will take is MTELP. After that, I take a practice from a <a href="https://michiganassessment.org/test-takers/tests/met/met-sample-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. </p>
<p>I get 47/50 in the reading section but get only 29/50 in the listening section. After having a glance at the format of speaking and writing section, I go to the examination room with the perturbed mood. The examiner is an Asian.</p>
<p>We take reading section firstly, which is a little different from what I practice before: it consists of grammer, vocabulary and reading sections. Then we take the writing section because there is a problem with the stereo speaker. It’s a disaster. I nearly failed in finishing the essay. The next section is listening, a disaster too. Finally comes the speaking section, in which the examiner asks me two questions: who influenced you most in your youth, and what is the most difficult thing you ever experienced. I answer with Einstein and the college entrance examination. Last he told me that even though I felt sad after the college entrance examination, the college I entered is a very good college. Maybe it just depends on your mind that how about your college.</p>
<p>The email of the examiner is <a href="mailto:tranthu@msu.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tranthu@msu.edu</a>.</p>
<p>In addition, I met a cute girl who took the exam with me today. But I haven’t ask for her name because of shyness.</p>
<h3 id="Jewelry-Exam"><a href="#Jewelry-Exam" class="headerlink" title="Jewelry Exam"></a>Jewelry Exam</h3><p>I failed to distinguish between 翡翠 and 岫玉 but recognized 孔雀石 and 琥珀 successfully.</p>
<hr>
<p>The email has no response. I will send again tomorrow.</p>
<hr>
<p>What’s more, I lost my iPad in the classroom afternoon, which made me very nervous. But I found it back soon. Tianjiao is really a little angel who always treats others with gentleness and kindness. Thanks very much.</p>
